Marservis, a Croatian maritime technology company, has unveiled ECOcube, a state-of-the-art waste collection and treatment station designed to tackle one of the nautical industry’s most pressing environmental challenges: vessel wastewater management.
For decades, sailors have faced limited access to waste disposal facilities, often forced into illegal discharge that threatens fragile coastal ecosystems. With ports and marinas struggling to manage rising volumes of waste, the need for a scalable, sustainable solution has never been more urgent. ECOcube provides an autonomous, affordable, and environmentally friendly answer.
ECOcube allows boat owners to independently dispose of solid waste and wastewater directly at marinas or anchorages. Fully solar-powered and equipped with vacuum-based wastewater removal, the system features separate containers for PET/metal, glass, paper, and mixed waste. Depending on configuration, ECOcube can either safely store wastewater until collection or perform primary biological pretreatment and filtration, producing water suitable for boat cleaning or irrigation.
Sailors can locate the nearest ECOcube via a mobile app or the vessel’s integrated MFD system, making responsible waste disposal as simple as refueling. The system also offers live IoT monitoring, providing marinas with real-time insights into capacity, operational status, and maintenance schedules, ensuring efficient management even during peak season.

By combining autonomy, smart technology, and eco-conscious design, Marservis is enabling marinas and vessel operators to dramatically reduce their ecological footprint while streamlining operations.
ECOcube is more than a product—it represents a step toward a future where waste management at sea is safe, convenient, and sustainable. As ports, marinas, and vessel operators increasingly prioritize environmental compliance and operational efficiency, ECOcube positions Marservis at the forefront of marine sustainability innovation.
